Bonobo git: virtualPath is null

Question

I have downloaded Bonobo Git server and trying to host it in my Windows server 2016 VM with iis.

I have followed all the steps from the installation manual and receive following error:

[ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: virtualPath] System.Web.VirtualPath.Create(String virtualPath, VirtualPathOptions options) +12167132 Bonobo.Git.Server.MvcApplication.GetLogFileNameFormat() +48 Bonobo.Git.Server.MvcApplication.ConfigureLogging() +119 Bonobo.Git.Server.MvcApplication.Application_Start() +21

[HttpException (0x80004005): Value cannot be null. Parameter name: virtualPath] System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.EnsureAppStartCalledForIntegratedMode(HttpContext context, HttpApplication app) +540 System.Web.HttpApplication.RegisterEventSubscriptionsWithIIS(IntPtr appContext, HttpContext context, MethodInfo[] handlers) +186 System.Web.HttpApplication.InitSpecial(HttpApplicationState state, MethodInfo[] handlers, IntPtr appContext, HttpContext context) +172 System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.GetSpecialApplicationInstance(IntPtr appContext, HttpContext context) +402 System.Web.Hosting.PipelineRuntime.InitializeApplication(IntPtr appContext) +343

[HttpException (0x80004005): Value cannot be null. Parameter name: virtualPath] System.Web.HttpRuntime.FirstRequestInit(HttpContext context) +539 System.Web.HttpRuntime.EnsureFirstRequestInit(HttpContext context) +125 System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context) +731

This seems to come from the Bonobo code so i cannot debug this. Also no other info about this error found.

Any clues on what i could have configured wrong since i think the Bonobo project should work ..

Answer 1

Make sure you have something like

    <add key="LogDirectory" value="~\App_Data\Logs" />

In the appsettings section of your web.config file.

Out of interest, did you upgrade from a previous version?
